257 - PowerPC 631 (aka POWER3+)
269 ===============================================================================
270 PowerPC microcontrollers emulation status
272 Implemementation should be sufficient to boot Linux:
277 - More PowerPC 40x microcontrollers emulation
278 - PowerQUICC microcontrollers emulation
280 ===============================================================================
281 PowerPC based platforms emulation status
283 * PREP platform (RS/6000 7043...) - TO BE CHECKED (broken)
284 - Gentoo Linux live CDROM 1.4
288 * heathrow PowerMac platform (beige PowerMac) - TO BE CHECKED (broken)
289 - Gentoo Linux live CDROM 1.4
293 * mac99 platform (white and blue PowerMac, ...)
294 - Gentoo Linux live CDROM 1.4 - boots, compiles linux kernel
295 - Debian Linux woody - boots from CDROM and HDD
296 - Mandrake Linux 9 - boots from CDROM, freezes during install
297 - Knoppix 2003-07-13_4 boots from CDROM, pb with X configuration
298 distribution bug: X runs with a properly hand-coded configuration.
299 - rock Linux 2.0 runs from CDROM
301 * Linux 2.6 support seems deadly broken (used to boot...).
303 * PowerPC 405EP reference boards:
304 - can boot Linux 2.4 & 2.6.
305 Need to provide a flash image ready to boot for reproductible tests.
308 - MCA based RS/6000 emulation
309 - CHRP emulation (not PowerMac)
312 - misc PowerPC reference boards emulation
